Déu N’hi Do!

This is one of the most curious Catalan expressions out there. It is almost exclusively used in Catalonia as a way to emphasize a phrase, emotion or situation. It is almost impossible to translate directly into English, but its literal meaning is something like “God gave it!” and a common exclamation meaning something like “Wow!” or “It’s amazing!”

Christian Barbier, son of the prestigious René Barbier Sr, was born and raised surrounded by vineyards, vats and barrels. A great connoisseur of Priorat’s licorella soils, he started working in Montsant to produce this personal wine based on the wisdom and complexity of plants cultivated according to biodynamic and sustainable principles.

Deunidó is a natural and biodynamic red wine produced by Christian Barbier in the D.O. Montsant (Catalonia) with the Garnacha Tinta variety, and starts its life in La Coma, an estate in the town of La Figuera, in Priorat. The vines grow on white clay soils, at an altitude of 600 meters and are cultivated without using any chemical products. They are grown using biodynamic treatments based on organic preparations and combined with herbal medicine. The harvest is carried out manually at the optimum point of ripeness.In the winery, the grapes are selected and then they macerate for a week, with 10% of the stems. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks and then spends another 5 months in these same tanks. Once ready, the wine is bottled without adding sulphites.

Born into the family of one of the leading wineries in Priorat, Clos Mogador, Christian Barbier makes Deunidó through his love for these lands that he cultivates using biodynamic principles. As a result, he produces a wine with authentic natural freshness.
